“How shall freedom be defended? By arms when it is attacked by arms; by truth when it is attacked by lies; by democratic faith when it is attacked by authoritarian dogma. Always, and in the final act, by determination and faith.”
Words of Archibald McLeish as carved in granite on one of the long corridors of Harvard University

Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Amando Tetangco Jr. said he has formally proposed that Mrs. Aquino join her husband in the new batch of currency notes to be issued in the next two years.
“I have asked the numismatic committee to consider the proposal to put the portrait of former President Corazon Aquino in the 500-peso bill when designing our new generation currency notes,” Tetangco told a news conference yesterday.
Tetangco noted the numerous proposals to have the Aquino couple in the P500 bill, a day after the former president was laid to rest in a extraordinary funeral procession that shows massive support and sympathy from a grieving nation.
While deputy Governor Diwa Guinigundo, who heads the central bank’s numismatic committee said,“With her great contribution to the cause of Philippine freedom, there is every reason to consider her in the 500-peso note.”
A spokesman for President Gloria Arroyo said any proposal to declare the late president a national hero like her husband will be studied.
The 500 peso bill, in the yellow hue associated with the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution with Ninoy Aquino, started circulation in August 1987.

The reverse side features a collage of various images in relation to Aquino. He was (out of some of the pictures) a journalist for the Manila Times, a senator (the pioneer of the Study Now, Pay Later education program), the mayor in his hometown of Concepcion, the governor of Tarlac, and was the main driving force behind the People Power Revolution of 1986, some three years after his death in 1983.
It is also interesting to note that unlike the names of the figures on the bills, "Benigno S. Aquino, Jr." is written in gold-coloured, cursive writing with a green laurel wreath as opposed to the name being simply written as with the other banknotes.
Before this note was printed, 500-piso banknote was to have Ferdinand Marcos and its back was the Batasang Pambansa Complex until People Power Revolution when it was replaced by the current 500-piso banknote. Remnants of this version of the banknote are only for media purposes.
The final ceremonies for the late former President Corazon Aquino was a fitting tribute to arguably the country’s most adored public figure in modern Philippine history. Even in death, former President Corazon Aquino united the nation as an adoring and grateful people laid her to rest on Wednesday evening.
The leader of the 1986 People Power uprising that restored democracy in the country was buried in a simple tomb beside that of her husband’s, Ninoy Aquino.
“How do I find the words to say goodbye? Paano bang magpaalam kapag alam mo, na alam ng puso mo, na hindi pa rin sapat ang panahon na binahagi sayo ng Diyos sa piling ng 'yong pinakamamahal?
Giving the most moving message from the Aquino family so far, television host and actress Kris Aquino said she could not find words to say goodbye to her mother, former President Corazon Aquino.
University of Cebu owner Augusto Go has ordered flags in all his school campuses to be lowered to half mast and special prayers be held in school to pay tribute to the late former President Corazon “Cory” Aquino. “Cory is a great loss to the Filipino people. She was an inspiration, the one who brought back democracy to the Philippines,” said Go. He said Aquino served the presidency with honesty and integrity, and everybody looked up to the Philippines at that time. Go said he was thankful for Aquino for appointing him officer-in-charge (OIC) vice mayor of Cebu City in 1986 after former President Ferdinand Marcos was ousted from power.

Malacanang has declared that today, Wednesday, August 5, 2009, is a non-working special holiday to give Filipinos a chance to take part in the burial rites of former President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino. The former Philippine leader passed away early Saturday after battling colon cancer for more than a year.
"In giving we receive, in losing we find, and out of defeat we snatched our victory."
"As I came to power peacefully, so shall I keep it. That is my contract with my people and my commitment to God."
"As president of all my people, I will not betray the cause of peace by which I came to power."
“With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us finish the work we are in to bind up the nation’s wounds. To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and for his orphans to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”
Maria Corazon Cojuangco was born on Jan. 25, 1933, into a wealthy, politically powerful family in Paniqui, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) north of Manila.
She attended private school in Manila and earned a degree in French from the College of Mount St. Vincent in New York. In 1954 she married Ninoy Aquino, the fiercely ambitious scion of another political family. He rose from provincial governor to senator and finally opposition leader.
Marcos, elected president in 1965, declared martial law in 1972 to avoid term limits. He abolished the Congress and jailed Aquino's husband and thousands of opponents, journalists and activists without charges. Aquino became her husband's political stand-in, confidant, message carrier and spokeswoman.
A military tribunal sentenced her husband to death for alleged links to communist rebels but, under pressure from U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Marcos allowed him to leave in May 1980 for heart surgery in the U.S.
It was the start of a three-year exile. With her husband at Harvard University holding court with fellow exiles, academics, journalists and visitors from Manila, Aquino was the quiet homemaker, raising their five children and serving tea. Away from the hurly-burly of Philippine politics, she described the period as the best of their marriage.
The halcyon days ended when her husband decided to return to regroup the opposition. While she and the children remained in Boston, he flew to Manila, where he was shot as he descended the stairs from the plane.
The government blamed a suspected communist rebel, but subsequent investigations pointed to a soldier who was escorting him from the plane on Aug. 21, 1983.
Aquino heard of the assassination in a phone call from a Japanese journalist. She recalled gathering the children and, as a deeply religious woman, praying for strength.
"During Ninoy's incarceration and before my presidency, I used to ask why it had always to be us to make the sacrifice," she said in a 2007 interview with The Philippine Star newspaper. "And then, when Ninoy died, I would say, 'Why does it have to be me now?' It seemed like we were always the sacrificial lamb."
She returned to the Philippines three days later. One week after that, she led the largest funeral procession Manila had seen. Crowd estimates ranged as high as 2 million.
With public opposition mounting against Marcos, he stunned the nation in November 1985 by calling a snap election in a bid to shore up his mandate. The opposition, including then Manila Archbishop Cardinal Jaime L. Sin, urged Aquino to run.
After a fierce campaign, the vote was held on Feb. 7, 1986. The National Assembly declared Marcos the winner, but journalists, foreign observers and church leaders alleged massive fraud.
With the result in dispute, a group of military officers mutinied against Marcos on Feb. 22 and holed up with a small force in a military camp in Manila.
Over the following three days, hundreds of thousands of Filipinos responded to a call by the Roman Catholic Church to jam the broad highway in front of the camp to prevent an attack by Marcos forces.
On the third day, against the advice of her security detail, Aquino appeared at the rally alongside the mutineers, led by Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile and Lt. Gen. Fidel Ramos, the military vice chief of staff and Marcos' cousin.
From a makeshift platform, she declared: "For the first time in the history of the world, a civilian population has been called to defend the military."
The military chiefs pledged their loyalty to Aquino and charged that Marcos had won the election by fraud.
U.S. President Ronald Reagan, a longtime supporter of Marcos, called on him to resign. "Attempts to prolong the life of the present regime by violence are futile," the White House said. American officials offered to fly Marcos out of the Philippines.
On Feb. 25, Marcos and his family went to the U.S.-run Clark Air Base outside Manila and flew to Hawaii, where he died three years later.
The same day, Aquino was sworn in as the Philippines' first female leader.
The icon of Philippine democracy is gone.
Corazon Aquino, the country’s first woman president, died yesterday at 3:18 a.m. at the Makati Medical Center after an 18-month battle with colon cancer. She was 76.
She had fulfilled her mission to lead her people from the oppression of a dictatorship toward democracy. And, once there, she never let her guard down. The world honored – and continues to honor – her for this.
